Maybe it’s because the movies aren’t good and the plot lines are stale. Just a thought.

There've been some really good not-sequel-remake-franchise movies recently though, recently watching Companions and Mickey 17 in theatres myself.

Took my SO to see Companion. We had the whole room to ourselves. Both loved it sbd had a great time.

Also recently saw and really enjoyed Strange Darling and Flow on the big screen.

I think there are plenty of movies that aren't remake-of-a-copy-of-a-sequel out there. I recall I liked Didi.

I also think a lot of people have a better experience at the movies. The movie gets watched straight through. It isn't abandoned, stopped to get snacks, or text, or take a phone call. If someone keeps falling asleep, you don't rewind 10 times. If the movie starts out too slow or subtle, you keep going instead of scrolling to find another movie. etc.
